Amazing little cafe! The interior is amazing and the food is also well made. The coffee was a nice brew and the brownie I ordered was fluffy and in general delightful. The pastries are a must get and goes really well with any drink you would order. The presentation also looks inviting l, great for pictures.

Another amazing hidden gem! A place good for coffee and a quick snack. It's a nice little coffee shop hidden inside the neighborhood right across from Fairview mall, so accessing it is fairly simple. The atmosphere of the place is calm and soothing, I would say it's almost a perfect spot for a coffee addict...also maybe a good place for a first date to break the ice. It's still a nice place to go to get away from the house to get some work done or to study. BUT! The only con I have about the place is that when it's filled with other patrons, it ruins the mood of the place. This is only my personal opinion I have about the cafe and it doesn't affect how I rate it either.

Hidden Korean cafe with decent coffee and environment. I have never tried Dalgona Coffee so I don't know what to expect but it's delicious to me. I went on weekdays around 10am and it started to get crowded around 11am for dine-in. It would be great if the WiFi is a bit stronger since I couldn't connect to it at the patio and it somehow refused to work with my phone. I'll definitely come again in the future to try out all the drinks and pastries that they offer!

[AMBIENCE SERVICE QUALITY 10/10] Lovely Korean-style cafe in Don mills. Coffee is top quality and treats beyond amazing. Friendly staffs and management it feels like home. Cozy and beautiful decoration is really awesome! If you want to have new experiences, please stop by and try a variety of drinks and bakery goods. Tip) Highly recommend trying "Eggnog latte"

Great pastry with great coffee/drink options…. Plus cozy beautiful interior….. the place is perfect to studying, working or meet up, etc. the Dalgona & ocean lemonade drink is delicious.

This is a cute coffee shop located near Fairview Mall. There is lots of street parking. The ambience is very lively and the decor is cozy and welcoming with lots of seats. There are lots of baked goods to choose from. My partner and I tried the spinach with feta pastry and the beef sausage roll - both were delicious. The iced vanilla latte was great. The iced dalgona was good but it needed to be sweetened - not sure if this was a one off experience. I signed up for the loyalty card when there. It requires a minimum gift card purchase of $50 but in return, 10% off is given on all drinks moving forward - pastries are not included but it’s definitely worth it if you plan on returning. I can’t wait for the blended drinks to return in the summer!

Got the black sesame latte, matcha latte and tomato olive pastry. All were delicious! This place is also very cute and the service is so nice, a shame we couldn’t sit inside. Will be back!

Oof I wish I had a better experience as I had heard good things about here and it looks great as a hang out spot. I swung by just to grab a coffee and it took nearly 30 minutes for a black Americano. There were two baristas working and they were scrambling as best possible to serve seated customers. There was a line up of people waiting to simply order things and we were ignored for 5 minutes between each person. The coffee itself wasn't bad and I enjoyed it but it should not take so long for a black coffee. I might go back if I'm sitting down next time but never if I'm trying to grab something to go quickly.

Chill weekend morning vibes, cute space, excellent for hangouts, catch ups, dates, or people watching. Park near the community center :) Had the pour over coffee with Ethiopian beans, black. 9/10 aroma, 9/10 taste, 8/10 strength. My friends ordered the Iced Dalgona with milk and Rose Mallow tea, great feedback for both. Chocolate cookies are not made in house but they are delivered fresh every morning from a trusted source (gotta visit it for the taste :)).

This place is so good omg... One of my favorite cafe for now????????

Michelle Luong

I'm a regular customer and love this place! I mean I'm addicted to the coffee you serve...but this is a temporary review attempting to get your attention. I understand that the building is responsible for the heating system, however an electrical heater where the baristas work would be affordable and it us only a short time solution.. Please treat your employees with as much care as they treat your customers! Thank you so much! I'I look forward to change this review asap! ????

Coffee shop was aesthetically pleasing. Staff was very polite. Had their iced dalgona coffee with less sugar (left), wasn’t whipped on the top but probably because I asked for less sugar. Otherwise still delicious. Will definitely be returning to try more of their beverages.

Wonderful little cafe in North York! Their coffee is great and the baked goods are delightful. Been coming here for a while and am glad there's some outdoor seating! Normally get an americano but went for the cream cold brew today. A+

Super aesthetic cafe with good food and baked goods. :) it’s about a five min walk from Fairview mall/don mills station and is easy to find. There’s a lot of free parking areas nearby as well as street parking. It was a bit smaller than I thought but had a lot of tables so I wasn’t surprised a lot of people came here to study (including myself). I wanted to upload the video I took of the interior but Google won’t let me so I’ve included some screenshots of the vid I took instead ????

I had visited a few weeks ago and wanted to leave a review on how lovely the staff were that day! I had heard about Forest Cafe from a few peers and was excited to see how clean and beautiful the interior was upon entering (very instagramable in my opinion) I had tried their sparkling summer line for drinks (sunset ade) and it was very refreshing and light - very favourable for those who don’t need the extra sweetness. But the rest of the menu specializes in the quality of craft in the coffee brewing, and I am sure to come back to try everything else on the menu! The staff are very lovely and take the time to help you pick your drink, which I really appreciated. It’s not very busy on most days so it’s a very relaxing spot to stop by and cool down during the summer. Great spot!

Nov 17 2021 .. the Dalgona coffee and the Feta and Spinach Bistro I had there was really amazing. The place has a nice ambience although it was crowded when I went there so finding a place to sit was difficult. But the food is top notch.

Nicholas Hudescu

A great residential cafe that I can sit down to do some work with a coffee indoor or outdoor. If it could have a whole food menu, it will be even better. If I am not in the area, I will not go there for just their coffee.

Ryan Broughton

I came across this cafe on my walk one day and decided to check it out...the staff was very welcoming and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. MJ helped me decide on a new drink to try..unfortunately i don't remember the name of it but it was soo good! Definitely will be visiting again soon!

Had my first dalgona coffee here and so happy forest cafe was my first. It was simplistic and also refined with the pieces of sponge toffee. The coffee was smooth and combined well with the cold milk. Also had have a treat with my coffee, so opted for the sweet potato cream bun which perfectly complemented the dalgona coffee. Normally sweet potato in foods sometimes doesn’t act like a dessert, but when done as a cream, it satisfies that sweet tooth craving nicely. Ton of items on their menu I want to try and will definitely be back for more! Service was good and they were very attentive! Place was really clean and spacious for distancing. Great job overall!

What a pleasant surprise finding this cafe near Fairview. Tucked away in a quite area, it was the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over coffee. Lovely interior, clean and friendly staff. Tried their signature Dalgona coffee 5/5, London Fog Tea Latte 4/5, Yuzu Citrus Tea 3/5, and Mango Yogurt Smoothie 4/5. Came back another day to get the Dalgona coffee again (so good) and tried Rose Mallow Iced Tea 2/5. I wouldn’t come here for their tea blended drinks but their coffee really suit my taste. Looking forward to coming back to try their pastries!

One of my favourite cafes to get work done at uptown! There are plugs, wifi, and it’s relatively quiet during the weekdays. They also have really unique drinks and my go to is the Einspanner which is an americano with sweet cream on top. One thing is that parking may be a little hard to find and you will have to parallel park

Visited first time their drink was good and place was really clean and nice. Staffs were really friendly as well their pastries are good as well

Forest Cafe, a spot I'd recommend if you're in the Fairview area. Would also recommend parking at the mall, literally witnessed 10+ cars with parking tickets in the vicinity. Prices are fair, although may discourage those who arent avid cafe-goers. Very warm and welcoming staff which complements the naturally lit and soft interior. Great place to sit down your date over some coffee.

Every town needs a great neighborhood cafe. @forestcafe.toronto is one of the comforting and relax neighborhood cafés where everyone is welcome. It’s also one of the best cafes where people can seat and enjoy some “me” time or with friends or families. You can seat and read books or work. Last weekend I was here for friends gathering. I ordered a large Black Sesame Latte (on the right). We spent the whole afternoon to enjoy the best barista made beverage and chit-chat time. Service was friendly and beyond. It’s a perfect place to lay back and unwind. Love this local neighborhood cafe. I will be back. Thanks @forestcafe.toronto for the wonderful environment and beverage and of course most importantly the friendly service

Finally a quality cafe in the neighbourhood. Grabbed a latte there last week. It was good but nothing spectacular, specifically the froth wasn't up to the Italian coffee shop standards, which is where I would usually drive to to get a coffee. However, would be nice to try their other drinks. Because of covid, things are obviously different but the interiors looks like it's got that quaint neighbourhood coffee vibe and it would be nice to have a seat once the pandemic eases off.

A quiet place to study and work. Staffs were friendly. Cafe was clean, aesthetic, and relaxing vibes.

Andrew Tan

Their signature - Dalgona Coffee and Einspanner are great. Bakery is amazing and taste great. Also the store will be a great place to spend your afternoon and relax after pandemic. Price is reasonable, similar to Starbucks. As a coffee drinker, I found: Dalgona - if you like creamy, and balance taste , right sweetness, this is a good choice. Einspanner - if you like strong taste, but not as strong as espresso, this would be your drink.
